Grandpa Talks

Grandpa is getting more interactive. Yesterday he and Vivian sat around at the dining table and he called out words. "Mat".  And she wrote them down. Then he'd peer at what she had written and grunt his approval. "Cat". And so on.

Evan and Vivian have tried to talk to him in the past. But because he doesn't hear them he doesn't respond. Sometimes he doesn't even see them because they might not be right in front of his gaze. Or his eye's are shut. They, specially Evan always stop by and say "Goodnight Grandpa" to him. And the look on his face  usually implies "Who are these children and what are they doing?" Once I found Vivian talking to Grandpa in signs. "Because Grandpa can't talk" she said.

So it was quite a surprise to see them working together. "Fat". Scribbling. "Hmmm".
